located Within the barrel of 'Said pen. Fig. is e longitudinal'sectional View through the per., showing; the vacuum bag or sack in position, and the bag lilled with ink. Fig. fi sectional View simil-,ir to Fig. 2, with the exception that the vacuum bag'or stick is depi 'et-.eed.

l'lielerrii to the drawings associated with this spiei'ziliczition, l denotes the barrel portion of the pen, which may he of the usuel slriictiire.

2 represei'its the peri-holder propel' in which secured the pen-point 3, by means oi' the core Ll which lits eiiugly with suliicient friction within the holder 2, iii order to hold the peil-point securely in position. The friction. between the core 4; and the holder 2 is also 'or the purpose of holding the core securely iii pos.t.ioii. rl"his core al is provided with :i groove 5.

-'Vhen the core l is removed, for :my desired reason, the groove 5 is clearly opened, and when the core il is removed, this groove may be cleansed, il? desired; but While the eore is iii its proper position within the holder 2, the groove o is completely covered hy thc holder 2tlierehy providing. :in ink chieti Q, tlirougli ,which the ihk irom the "c loro brig or sach 'i' may readily low. r'i`his vacuum bag or stiel; is secured to a threaded restricted portion 8 of the holder 2, und maybe mode of any. suitable material, for instance, rubber or the col'iibinution of riihher and fabric or canvas, or'ziny other iiiziteriol which will have a, tendency to eX- piiiiil or open up, when iiil'lzited by the inllow of ink, lliis bugor sack is located and supported within the barrel l of the pen, :is shown clearly in Figs. '2 and 3.

ifiecuretl to :i portion of the outer circum- 'letz ofthe hap," or sack, by 'any suitable ineens, such is adhesive material, is ai rnelzillic plate D (which acts as means for de- Viressiiig :iiiproximziiely the entire length of the hug or sach). This plate 9 is almost the smile length is the ,said bag or sack, as will he observed, iii order lo insure @he proper lepi-essiiig oi' the smid brig or slick. rFhis plate J may he mode ot' aluminum or other suitable iiiiilerizil, and is provided with a, lug or projee-lioii "l0 (which extends partially through an aperture ll of the barrel l) and is contacted with by a lateral projection 12 ol2 :i spriiip' clip '13 (which is carried ljylie cup iiieni'ber lil) und serves two purposes. Firstly, when the cap is placed 1n position upon the pen, in order to cover the penpoint, the clip engages that .portion of a persons Wearing` apparel adjacent to the pocket, in ordery to retain the pen securely in onefs pocket. Secondly, when the 'cap is placed upon 'the ,end of the. pen opposite the pen-point, the cap is so adjusted 1n position that the projection l2 of the clip 1s positioned directly above or 1n registration with the aperture 1l, in order tliativhen the spring portion of the clip is depressed, the said projection12 will contact with the lug l0', in order to depress the bag or sack, thereby causing approxhnatelya complete vacuum Wit-hin the ,bag or sack. Vhen pressure is relieved upon the spring` portionV of the clip', the bag will then again be inflated, but prior to', therelieving of the pressure upon the spriiig portion of the clip, the end of the pen (which carries the pen-point) 1s held Within-any suitable Writing fluid, and as the bag or sack inlates, the Writing fluid will be drawn therein. f

After the bagjhas been completely lled or inflatedl by the writing fluid, the cap 14 may be adjusted, in order to remove the projection l2 of the spring portion of the clip from registration or above the said aperture 1l, and while in such position,'one

inay readily usc the pen in Writing.

When it is desired to use the pen for Writing, you simply detach the pen from the pocket Aof a persons` Wearing apparel, and.

after removingr the ca'p from the point of the pen (which carries the-pen-point) and placing` it upon the other end of the pen, the pen is in readiness to be used; But, if itis desired to lillv the pen before using, the

cap is placed in such a position as to position the projection 12 of the spring portion of the clip over or in registration with the aperture 11 of the pen, so that, by pressing the spring portion, the extension l2 will contact with the lug l0 which will depress the bag or sack, and cause a vacuum therein. This operation is accomplished while the pen-point holding end of the pen is held in a Writing fluid. After pressure is relieved upon the spring portion of the clip, the bag or sack expands and draws in .the writing fluid. I

Having thus fully set forth the invention, What is claimed as new and useful is :-d

1. A self-filling fountain pen having a chamber provided with an aperture in its wall, a vacuum bag or sack located in said chamber, said pen having ay duct extending from the pens pen-point and communicating with the interior of said bag or sack, said bag` or sack having an elongated plate secured thereto provided with a lug extending through' the aperture, a pocket pen clip carried by the pen and provided with a spring portion having means adapted to extend through the aperture to engage the lu'g.

2. A self-filling` fountain pen having a chamber, a vacuum bag or sack located in ing a member penetrating` the Wall of the chamber, and a pocket pen clip carried by the pen and provided with a spring portion having means to engage the member.
